Most forum boards deny the use of HTML as it can screw up the page layout if you don't know what you are doing, but I like it enabled as it gives me more control on formatting posts.
One thing to remember when using HTML in posts is that it must be all on a single line as vBulletin adds line breaks after every line in a post. This is fine with normal text but causes many blank lines with HTML.
So the following example:<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="50%">
text
</td>
<td width="50%">
<img src="http://www.domain.com/image.jpg">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Would be entered thus:<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="50%"> text </td> <td width="50%"> <img src="http://www.domain.com/image.jpg"> </td> </tr></table>
To remove the newlines, do a [CTRL] ↓ tol take you to the start of the next newline, then do a [backspace].
Also make sure the "Automatically parse URLs " option is not selected as this is why you keep seeing "target=_blank" next to links.
